THE WORLD IS PRIMARILY DESIGNED BY AND FOR
PEOPLE WITH PRIVILEGE….
• What are some examples of privilege that people without disabilities take for granted?

![Page 38: The Mirror Group Welcomes You to POWER & PRIVILEGE: DISABILITY WORKSHOP AUGUST 7, 2013 1](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649e575503460f94b4f3d1/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
USE OF PRIVILEGE• Privilege can be used to empower or
disempower–Abuse of privilege is not inevitable
• When you are aware of your privileges, you can use them for your own benefit and for the benefit of others–Privilege can be used consciously or
unconsciously

speaking truth to power, change efforts, political action…
• Flight:– Withdrawal, transfers, attrition…
• Freeze: – Compliance, submission, silence…
